<div dir="ltr">The one laptop per child (OLPC) or xo software is called Sugar. Sugar
is both a new operating system (OS) and a variety of educational
activities (applications). Earlier this year there was some turmoil
within the OLPC project which led to Walter Bender leaving and setting
up Sugar Labs. It is open source educational activities which work in a
collaborative framework and are currently being ported to a variety of
other platforms.<br>
<br>I've worked out how to run Sugar on Windows computers, by booting
off USB keys. This means that the software can be tested and evaluated
in the industrialised world even though the xo's are hard to obtain,
being earmarked for the developing world.<br>
<br>Students in a year 10 class at my school are currently evaluating Sugar activities. Details can be found here:<br><a href="http://xo-whs.wikispaces.com/" target="_blank">http://xo-whs.wikispaces.com/</a><br clear="all">
